[edit] Current Games
New To Hero Campaign is a game that is currently running.
[edit] Old Games
Powers Campaign was run for an average of 2 people over a 2 year period. The game is now inactive because 3 new people have joined our gaming group and I could not think of a way to add them without disrupting game power levels. That may change as we play the New To Hero Campaign game.

[edit] Comics
The Order of the Stick is a comedic fantasy webcomic based on the genre of pen and paper roleplaying games.
PvP, also known as Player Vs. Player - Originally, PvP focused on video gaming and the larger "nerd culture" including comics and RPGs. 1UP.com described it as "The "real" origin of game-based comics", and in the same article puts it under the heading of "non-gaming webcomics". Over the years, the humor has broadened to include technology jokes, relationship humor, in-jokes about and mocking of the generation gaps between the different characters, with gaming increasingly taking a back seat. Kurtz occasionally comes under fire for his satire.
